Defeating the Lizard Brain

FAAAuaarrkk... I was doing so well but the lizard brain always seems to get the best of me. It's as if I am stuck in an endless time loop (infinite genjutsu). I have yet to escape the cycle. If we know exactly what it takes to succeed and improve, then why the fuq can't we consistently do it? If we know studying helps you ace the exam then why do we keep getting distracted and do everything but study? If we know playing while injured will make it worse, then why can't we stop? Why do we suddenly stop taking cold showers and reading when we've been doing it consistently for 2 months? WHY did I DOWNLOAD TIKTOK AGAIN...what the DEUCE? It's as if we are choosing to fail... but who the fuq would consciously choose that?? No one; thus <insert> LIZARD BRAIN



We have natural human instincts and urges in which I will refer to as Lizard Brain. It is a primal part of our mind that craves instant gratification. It only cares for Netflix, scrolling social media, videogames, junk food, the opposite of exercising (getting fat? idk), and procrastinating any task that requires effort. A primal desire for the easy life. If we feed the beast, it will grow stronger. We can fight it with discipline and motivation, but it is always there - unkillable. 1 missed gym day can snowball into 3, 1 cheat meal might turn into a cheat day, 1 netflix show might turn into a binge. Everyday is a new battle. Get up every time you fail and try again. We are not defeated until we have given up. 


(remember even Vegeta had to fight the lizard mind control)

"You may have taken my mind and my body... but there's one thing a saiyan ALWAYS KEEPS! HIS PRIDE!"

FROM TODAY AND ON, I WILL BE BETTER! FUK LIZARDS!

That's happened to me

 I've never wanted something so bad in this life. It is almost as if I am manic. I've lost my mind... "I've lost my mind doing this doing this sht. Like Vincent van Gogh. He dedicated his life to his art and lost his mind in the process. That's happened to me. But f--k it."   -The Notorious      Every second of everyday is dedicated towards this one goal. I train and study every waking second until my mind is mush. Until every fiber in my being is screaming for me to stop. Until the people around me beg me to tone it back- then I keep going. We are more capable than we believe, and now, I finally get a glimpse of it. I've squandered many years with half-assed effort, but no more. The goal is all I think about now. It wakes me up every morning and keeps me up every night. Everything else in life on hold. Let's fucking get it.

Greetings to the future, It has been a while old friend. My hiatus has finally come to an end, for I have found my way again. All is well in the world. I have found the path that must be walked. A reason for the struggle. An end to the road. A why. I have found it once more. I know what I want in this life. This dream now keeps me up at night and has me leaping out of bed before the sunrise. When we wander aimlessly, no amount of motivation can carry us through the storm. A ship with no direction will never reach the port.  I will do everything it takes to get what is mine. I will do great things. I promise you. Remember this day. 1 year to make it happen. WE RE BACK BABY! LETS GET IT "What we do in this life echoes in eternity." -Gladiator II
